(August 21, 2013) – The Texas Education Agency released the results of accountability ratings under the new accountability rating system on August 8, 2013. Arlington Classics Academy is proud to announce that we have achieved the highest academic ratings possible under the state’s new accountability system. In fact, both Arlington Classics Academy Middle School and Arlington Classics Academy Intermediate received the new top rating of “Met Standard” and achieved “Distinction Designation” in Math and Reading. Arlington Classics Academy Primary campus will not receive an individual rating due to the grade levels present at that campus; however, it is generally understood that the campus is paired with the Intermediate rating.

Arlington Classics Academy has a strong history of academic excellence, receiving an “Exemplary” rating for the last six years in the previous accountability system. We are proud to continue to provide an excellent education to all of our students and are encouraged that the state system properly reflects the level of academic achievement we expect of our students.

The new accountability system is an index based system with applicable index targets. If any one of the four index targets is missed, the rating will lower to “Improvement Required.”  Arlington Classics Academy met standard in all three applicable indices: Student Achievement, Student Progress, and Closing Performance Gaps.
